Question battle- review of past tense questions
Students work in pairs to make past tense simple questions. Students judge of their partner�s responses are correct. When correct, they write an X to "blast" the square. If not, the square stays blank for their partner to try again.
Try to encourage students to create open questions using How often, how many, when, where, how etc.
